Go and provide

The meeting on the nomination of entrepreneur Mikhail Prokhorov will be held on December 15 at the building of the Financial University. Prokhorov himself notified this by the Central Election Commission on December 9, ITAR-TASS reports with reference to the press service of the CEC. On December 15, it is the deadline for the provision of documents in the CEC on the registration of initiative groups to nominate candidates-nominates. Prokhorov reported his intention to run for president at the eve of a press conference in Moscow. One of Prokhorov’s press secretaries Stanislav Solodkin, in an interview with the Radio Liberty correspondent, could not clarify whether the application was submitted for the meeting in support of Prokhorov whether it was held when Prokhorov would collect signatures. Apparently, Prokhorov’s statements were a surprise for his press service.

“I am going as a presidential candidate,” Prokhorov said. “This is the most serious decision in my life. I am going to the presidential election,” Prokhorov wrote on his Twitter. According to him, he will present the election program after he is registered with a candidate.

During the speech, Prokhorov said that he did not intend to build his election campaign on criticism of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. At the same time, he added that he would continue to fight with the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vladislav Surkov. “I found the most elegant way, I think you just need to become his boss,” Prokhorov said.

In turn, Prime Minister Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Prime Minister, said that Vladimir Putin was informed of Prokhorov’s statement. "We have any person who has the right to run for president in accordance with the Constitution and legislation, this situation does not cause surprise," Peskov said.

On December 8, Prokhorov suggested Dmitry Medvedev ahead of schedule to resign from the president’s post and become the speaker of the State Duma. According to the way out of the crisis, published on the blog of Prokhorov, Vladimir Putin, according to the Constitution, becomes the acting the president and "will have all the necessary powers to hold honest presidential elections." According to the new rules that Prokhorov offers, presidential candidates will need to be collected 10 times less signatures, not only political parties, but also public organizations will be able to put forward them.

“This will open a powerful political and social elevator, a sense of justice and the correctness of the actions of the authorities, will give a political resource to the winner for reform and the formation of a new government government to win,” Prokhorov writes. He emphasizes that Putin "is the only one who at least somehow controls this ineffective state machine." After the last two congresses of "United Russia" "there is no more tandem," Prokhorov believes.

According to the businessman, the steps offered by him will help to avoid the revolution. “I am against revolutions, I remember well than in our country and not only in it, all revolutions for people ended,” writes the ex -leader of the “right business”.

He states that “a significant number of our citizens consider the elections to be unfair,” and the latest speeches of government and lies in television exacerbate the situation. To relieve stress in society, Prokhorov proposes "in all large and medium cities to allocate places convenient for citizens for free expression" according to the model of the London Hyde Park. "Let the Internet go outside, and the authorities will have the opportunity to listen to its citizens and make the right decisions (and not to display" ours ", provoking the confrontation in society, and not engage in the repair of the pipeline where people want to gather)," Prokhorov writes. In his opinion, in Moscow a suitable place for such meetings could become a Gorky Park.
